Revealed: Liverpool just weeks away from landing £14m payout
Liverpool are on track to earn £14million from their Uefa Europa League group stage, Football Insider can reveal.
Jurgen Klopp’s side boasts a 100 percent record in the competition so far after recording wins against LASK and Union Saint-Gilloise in the first two matchdays.
Sitting top of Group E, the Reds are now firm favourites to finish first and qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.
As per official Uefa documents for the 2023/24 season, Liverpool will earn as much as £14million if they do finish top of their group.
Each of the 32 sides that reached the group stages were awarded a qualification fee of £3.1million.
Every win recorded in the group stage is then worth an additional £550,000, meaning Liverpool have already banked £1.1million with four games still left to play.

Draws in the group stage are also worth £180,000 each.
Should Liverpool hold onto the top spot, they will earn prize money of £1million, while qualification to the round of 16 is an extra £1million to add to the prize pool.
Liverpool will also benefit from hosting European fixtures at Anfield, with fans easily filling the venue’s 54,000 capacity on Thursday nights.
Each home match is worth an estimated £2.5million, meaning the club will earn a guaranteed £7.5million from all group matches.
Overall, Football Insider calculates that Liverpool would earn £14million for topping their Europa League group this season.
That figure will also rise depending on the amount of wins gained in the remaining four matches.
